Koeppen's Courage Keeps Car In New York to Paris Race
Lieut Koeppen, an amateur, funded the trip with his own fortune and drove the Protos car to Paris amid heavy losses and gear failures. Despite weight, blizzards, and a split crew, he continued alone after Knape and Maass left Chicago. The Protos team eventually won two Vladivostok to St Petersburg prizes, but Koeppen earned lasting praise for perseverance and risk.
